ATM assaults in Puglia region

Overview

A report from the Italian Banking Association and the Public Security Department identified Puglia as the Italian region most at risk for assaults on bank and post office ATMs. The provinces of Foggia and Barletta-Andria-Trani (BAT) recorded the highest frequency of these incidents.

In response, regional councilors from the Democratic Party (PD) have called for a joint hearing involving the Budget and General Affairs commissions. The goal is to consult with provincial prefects, the Italian Banking Association, Poste Italiane, and the National Association of Italian Municipalities (ANCI) to address the phenomenon. Officials noted that the destruction of ATMs leaves many internal areas without essential services, disproportionately affecting elderly populations. The proposed hearing will evaluate prevention measures, legislative options for regional intervention, and timelines for restoring service points.
